Wang Anshi mentioned in the "Yuan Day": "Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old charms." Although Wang Anshi was a famous politician during the Song Dynasty, he was a man who was particularly good at living a life. Whenever there is a Spring Festival, Wang Anshi will most likely recite a few poems, that is, compose couplets, which is very leisurely and elegant. Therefore, in the song dynasty poems, everyone will find that Wang Anshi praises the Spring Festival in particular.
However, when it comes to the Spring Festival, you will find that the sticker couplet has basically become one of the main contents of traditional customs. Couplets are not just symbols that highlight traditional Chinese cultural festivals, but in fact, couplets can also represent a form of cultural expression. For example, in many film and television dramas, you will find that there are many talented women who like to sing poems in a special atmosphere, which has become a kind of scene that the literati and inkers especially like.
For example, from 220 AD to 280 AD is a historical period between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, which is often referred to as the Three Kingdoms period. In 1978, mainland archaeologists found relevant cultural relics in the ancient tomb of Sun Quan excavated in Jiangxi, verifying that couplets had already appeared during the Three Kingdoms period.
Then between 907 and 979 AD, it is the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms of the Mainland, during which the couplet culture has reached a peak state. Many literati and inkers will often exchange each other's cultural standards in ordinary life in the form of couplets. Then in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the sticker couplet became one of the main symbols of social customs and culture at that time.
Among the many couplet cultures, there is one couplet that is very interesting. It is what the Qianlong Emperor once said: "One day is a day, two days is Chang, and three days is a crystal." This seems a little simple, because many Chinese characters are superimposed glyphs. For example, the wood of the wood, the forest of the forest, and the forest of Qian Xuesen. These three words seem to match this uplink, but turn your head and think about it, and you may find that it is not right.
Because the upper link has clearly mentioned the number of pronouns one, two and three, if the one, two and three are still mentioned when the lower link is linked, then it is obvious that the upper and lower links will have some twists, and there is obviously no sense of cultural smoothness. Just when everyone felt that the couplet was difficult, the great talent Ji Xiaolan gave the response of the lower link: "Seven artificial, eight, and nine."
In this way, the upper and lower pairs are neatly aligned, and the meaning of the words is not limited to one grid, giving people a feeling of being very flexible and complete. In fact, in modern life, people can also occasionally try to make a couplet game. Because in the process of couplets, people's brain thinking is mobilized, and while applying the knowledge they have learned, it also tests their ability to react and the ability to diverge their thinking.
Although the couplet is one of the traditional cultures of the mainland, everyone has to admit that the couplet thing seems to have become something that businessmen should consider, because businessmen have to sell couplets during the Spring Festival. That's why businessmen will copy some traditional couplets on the Internet. With the passage of time, people will find that the couplet culture has been slowly forgotten by people in modern life, which is actually a pity.
